Hi Folks
I'm new to this forum and appreciate the good info. But just wanted to pass on some updated info on LiPO4 battery prices. For good brands (Twin Power, Antigravity, Shorai, etc.) prices are as low as $151 up to low $200 range. So unless you're determined to buy HD name you're not going to spend anywhere near the $400 I keep seeing pop up in these threads. These batteries now have "Re-Start" protection so if they reach a certain voltage they "disconnect" from the bike and simply require a push of a button to get them "reconnected/restarted"! Additionally, battery tenders capable of handling both AGM or LiPO4 batteries can be bought for $35.
All this is easily researched in a few minutes. The reason why I bring it up is because when I posted similar question while considering AGM or LiPO4, I got a lot of this (at least) outdated info. So if you haven't checked current information, it would provide you with updates that dispel a lot of rumors about LiPO4 technology.

their poor reliability has cause many bike shops to stop carrying them. Skyrich is now the factory superbike battery used in Kawasaki, KTM and Ducati
even though they're made in China - available from Shade Tree Powersports. The battery of choice for superbike racers in WERA and Motoamerica
is Speedcell - USA made, 3 year warranty and reasonably priced at $200 & $280 depending on which model HD you have.They're available from

Just as AGM tech took over the lead acid battery market, soon new tech lithium batteries will do the same.
